Hi all,
I had been looking for dark sky sites near sydney for a while and finally found a location close(ish) to my house in Quakers Hill.
Google maps link:

I like this place mainly because its listed as a bortle 2 in lightpollutionmap.info
Also because there's a free public washroom right beside the parking
And mostly because the weather there is not much colder than sydney, other dark sky sites are near blue mountains and its really cold there brrrr
From this dark location you can see the milky way arc right across the sky
these days. We went there last weekend 13th June. At around 10:30 pm at night we started our photography.
The best photos we took are using ISO 12800, exposure 15 seconds
Camera used is a canon 70d, shooting with the phone app connected to wifi to minimize.
I've just started photography and have a LOT to learn. AlsocI need to learn some post processing
Comments and criticisms welcome
